It’s possibly that you theme doesn’t support custom menus.
Does Appearance -> Menus appear if you temporarily switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme?
yes it does appear once i change it.you see am trying to create my theme and i was trying to register pages on my nav div,so to show certain pages on my nav div after writing the code array and so on, i need to go to the menu page from the appearance tab and that’s when it doesn’t show up.do you know anything about this?and thank you for the earlier suggestion.

WP has many useful codex guides, for example: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Navigation_Menus
yea i am aware of these codex am using them but once its time to use my register_nav_menu function with the reference in the Appearance->menu.i don’t see the menu…where you check the pages you want to register to the function reference that when i don’t see it..the menu button.
In general, it’s easiest to compare code. Take a look at how Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Fourteen are registering the menus, then compare to what you’re doing. 🙂
